How to?

Automatically translating the WLanguage code into French

Automatically translating the WLanguage code into French:
  1. In a code window, go to the "Code" tab, "Languages" group, expand "Convert code" and select "Translate into French".
  2. Specify the scope of the translation:
    • Current code: Only the code being edited (where the cursor is located) is translated.
    • Current element: All the code associated with the current file in the code editor will be translated (e.g., code of the window, controls and menus associated with the window).
    • The entire code displayed in the active code window: All the code displayed in the current code window will be translated.
    • All the WLanguage code of the project: All the code of all the project elements.
  3. Validate. The translation is completed.
Remarks:
  • To translate the code from French into English, on the "Code" tab, in the "Languages" group, expand "Convert code" and select "Translate into English". The other steps are identical.
  • If multiple lines of code are selected, only the selected lines will be translated.
  • New in SaaS
    Translating the code into English or French will apply the vocabulary currently in use in the editor. For example, you can change the code from legacy vocabulary (data file) to generic vocabulary (table) and vice versa.
    Note: This feature is only available from WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025 - Update 3.
    For more details, see Using new features exclusive to WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025.
  • New in SaaS
    The "Convert entire project to xxxx" option converts the code of all project elements from one vocabulary to another for the current language.
    Note: This feature is only available from WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025 - Update 3.
    For more details, see Using new features exclusive to WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025.

Translating the code during a copy/paste operation

To translate a WLanguage code during a copy/paste operation (between two WINDEV projects that use different languages for example):
  1. Open the code editor options. Go to the "Home" tab, "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "Code editor options".
  2. On the "Code" tab, check "Convert the code to" and select the translation language.
